Chapter 45: Schadenfreude
I muttered a few words to myself, and found that the 'other party' ignored me, so I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Tang Linlin's calf and said, "Quick, go." With that, he handed her the lighter, and the two began to climb on.
Not long after, Tang Linlin shouted happily: "The exit has arrived." As he spoke, the whole person's legs shrank, and then the figure disappeared, and I heard a bang in my ears, it seems that the exit of this hole should also be off the ground, Tang Linlin is jumping down.
Since I was in the back, I couldn't see the hole at first, and it wasn't until she fell down that I saw what was ahead.
The wind poured in from the entrance of the cave, much stronger than when it was inside, but it was dark outside the entrance, could it be that it was dark outside?
I quickly climbed forward, and when I climbed to the entrance of the cave, I found Tang Linlin holding a lighter, looking puzzled and looking around. In the faint light of the fire, I noticed that the entrance to the cave was about two meters above the ground, and below the opening, it was obvious that there were artificially paved floor tiles, exactly like the ones we had seen before.
This shows that this hole is not connected to the outside world, and we should still be in this damn trap now.
I jumped down after that, took Tang Linlin's lighter and held it high, and the dim light made our visible position very narrow. When I turned my head to look at the hole, it was also open in the wall, as if it had been forcibly broken by some sharp object.
Thinking of the pile of soil at the entrance before, I immediately understood that this hole should not have existed, but someone was trapped in the tunnel with a soldier's head flower, and because he couldn't get out, he arrived at this narrow hole, and I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, the exit was opened in this place.
Who will be the one who will make the hole?
The skeleton in the cave died halfway, so it must not be him who made the hole, there should be someone before him.
Moreover, to be able to make such a hole, the man must have carried a tool such as a shovel.
Ordinary people don't carry that kind of thing with them, do they? Unless...... Are you a professional treasure thief?
So, where are we now?
Tang Linlin was a little deflated and said, "I thought I could go out." No, every day you wait here, I'll come when I go. With that, she walked towards the darkness to my left. I don't know what the situation is in that place, but when I saw her running over there for some reason, I couldn't help but pull her and said, "What are you doing?" ”
She blushed a little and said, "It's uncomfortable down there, I'm going to deal with it." "I reacted that this aunt was coming, and I was speechless for a while, and I felt defeated. You know, in our group, in order to deal with the burning bones not long ago, almost everyone peed their pants once. Tang Linlin is even worse, and now that there is bloodshed again, I feel that the combination of me and her has stinked so much that people and gods are angry.
After speaking, she said: "I have a spare pair of pants, I have to change it, you virgin, turn around, don't peek." ”
I was angry and smoking, and I said in my heart that who wants to see it, but the situation in this place is unknown, and I don't feel at ease when she runs around, so I said: "You can change it here, I'll go and see it elsewhere." So saying, he walked forward with his lighter, intending to see what the place was like.
After walking for ten or so steps, I was a little shocked, this place and the tunnel and stone room we were in before were not at the same level at all, the floor tiles were exquisite, and there were huge stone pillars standing around, and the stone pillars were carved with lifelike Jumang birds, and on the nearest stone wall, there was a fire dragon, but it was not lit.
This place is quite large, I can't see the whole picture clearly, just what is exposed, it also makes me realize that this place is not simple, it is built so grandly, what is it used for? Nowadays, to say that it is a trap, I think it is too nonsense, where would people put such a lot of effort into the trap, just to build this place, I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent, if it is just a trap, it is too big and useless.
Thinking about Jiang Xi's betrayal again, I can already be sure that this place is definitely not a trap, perhaps, it is the real Yumen treasure land, we are just used by Jiang Xi to be his pioneer.
Thinking of the sacrifices made by our group along the way, but in the end they cheapened Jiang Xi, the bastard, in vain, I was really angry.
What did this guy surnamed Jiang want to do when he brought us to this place? What does he want, exactly?
When he followed the trend of the stone pillar for most of the circle, he saw a three-legged round tripod suddenly appear in front of him. The round tripod was half a man high, and the body of the tripod was deformed with a bird ornament, and it was engraved with an inscription, which I didn't recognize. Look at the dingzhong again, there is actually a wooden box.
Now that the box was open, it was empty, and it was clear that no one had taken the contents of the box.
Could it be that Jiang Xi took it?
Where is that kid now?
What's in this box?
Could it be that he's here for what's in the box?
Just watching, Tang Linlin changed into a pair of pants and ran over, stepped forward to take a look, and said, "What did you do?" ”
"That's it when I came, eighty percent of it was made by Jiang Xi."
Tang Linlin's smart eyes swept around, and said, "That kid shouldn't have gone far yet, what should we do now?" ”
I said, "There are two paths, one is to wait in place, and the other is to continue to find a way." ”
"Wait?" Tang Linlin's face was puzzled.
I nodded, pointed to the entrance of the cave when I came, and said, "This cave is easy to defend and difficult to attack, wait here, if it is someone from Yumen, you can also come and catch one by one." Tang Linlin said: "The idea is good, but what if they find another way?" This hole was originally made temporarily, and the place we are in now must be connected to the place where we were before, but we didn't find the way before, but this doesn't mean that Zhou Fox can't find it. ”
It makes sense for her to say this, Zhou Xuanye and the others may not necessarily catch up the same way, we are waiting here, and the situation will inevitably be passive.
Tang Linlin said again: "Take a step back and say, those people from Yumen are so powerful, what if they can't come back?" ”
"Bah, bah, children's words, good luck." I hurriedly snorted three times, lest I be hit by her crow's mouth.
Tang Linlin pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "It's useless for you to puff, this possibility is still very high." In my opinion, we have a third way. ”
I said, "What? ”
She said, "Why are you so inquisitive?" Don't you want to know, what did the guy surnamed Jiang do when he came to this place? Look at this structure, there must be treasures here. You see every day, Zhou Fox and Tan Jian are rich people, but how poor we are, since we have treasures, if we don't take them, we will be bastards. Let's look for the baby while waiting for Zhou Fox and them, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”
I looked at her eyes, which had been completely corrupted by money, and finally nodded heavily, yes, I was short of money too.
Her words reminded me that since waiting is not a solution, it is better to take the initiative. In fact, I'm also curious about what the purpose of the surnamed Jiang is.
I haven't seen Jiang Xi's skills, but judging from the fact that he was born in the Torture Hall, he must be very good. But there are two of us, plus Tang Linlin is soft and cute on the outside, but the combat power on the inside is good, even if we face each other, we will not be too weak.
As soon as we had finished our discussions, we began to check the full terrain of the place with our lighters, and soon we found a stone door. The stone door was opened, revealing a thin slit, and there was no other hole in the place. Tang Linlin and I flashed in, and as soon as we entered, we heard a bang, and the entire back of the stone gate suddenly became bright.
This sudden abnormality startled the two of us, Tang Linlin almost didn't jump up, stammered and looked around, and said, "Why is this self-lit?" ”
It turned out that behind this stone gate was a very spacious walkway, with a one-man height on both sides, and a fire dragon on each side, which was filled with black oil. As soon as the two of us entered, I didn't know if we had encountered any mechanism, so these two fire dragons brushed up, lit up by themselves, and illuminated the surroundings transparently.
Under the light of the fire dragon, this not too long passage suddenly appeared in front of our eyes, only to see that in front of the passage more than ten paces away, there were countless small iron chains, and at this moment, on the iron chain, a person was tied.
The man stared at us coldly.
It's Jiang Xi.
How did he get tied up?
Tang Linlin was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands and applauded, and said provocatively: "Oh, who should I be, it turned out to be you." Didn't you stun Zhou Fox and ran away by himself, I thought you could run anywhere, but I didn't expect to be tied up. Gee...... It is true that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. "There is no need to ask about this situation, it seems that there is a mechanism in this place, from the fire dragon that lights up automatically, and Jiang Xi who is tied up by iron chains, it can be seen that the mechanism in this place must be very powerful.
Tang Linlin vented the grievances in her heart to the fullest, and damaged Jiang Xi, and finally Jiang Xi couldn't stand it, and said coldly: "Stinky girl, have you said enough." ”
